Top Tips to Hit Uphill and Downhill Lies on the Golf Course

[@SunsTo7]

Many thank yous Matt. You would do great on tour ,even win!!

[@steveking3051]

Outstanding instruction. I often chunk those uphillers and most of this is new to me - I'll absolutely be making these adjustments. Truly enjoy your teaching style.....thanks for sharing!

[@colejensen5239]

Awesome, thanks. Now we need a video of tilted lies, opposite of this. And what to do out of the rough would also be great

[@seanberry6381]

Just found your channel a little over a week ago you have definitely helped my game and taught me a lot of little nuisances about how to approach different situations. Please keep the videos coming it’s really awesome content!

[@geraldmeininger7776]

What about feet above ball or below ball? Would love to see your advice.

[@tyeeggleston6159]

Great tip MSG.....i was wondering if you could maybe do a video on 3W and/or 5W uphill,side-hill, downhill shots.

[@BonnECommercial]

I appreciate your style and humor! I should probably laugh more at some of my shots.

[@chrisbaldry4233]

Listened to this video over and over. Great teaching Matt.

[@manndrew]

Mr. Short Game, I can’t thank you enough for that tip on hitting uphill lies. I have been struggling with this for so long. The biggest change was opening the club face and aiming straight at the target. So far on two consecutive rounds on our steepest fairway I was able to hit the green and the strike felt so solid. Instead of yanking it right it went dead straight. Thanks so much for this tip.

[@magnacircenses]

Just excellent communication. Thank you. Memorable!

[@fsbohomesofcentraliowa5256]

You are really an excellent teacher. You have done wonders for my golf game. Watching you in this video reminds me that I don't have to kill the ball every time I swing the club. You make it look so easy! Thanks!

[@jorode6245]

you have no idea how much youve helved my game... just watching your videos for 2 weeks ive cut 10 strokes off my game

[@Garce227]

Good teacher🎉

[@mortondavid3066]

Very good tips on key areas of the game. Helped me reduce my handicap for the first time in two years. Thank you.👍⛳️

[@aidancasey2757]

You are so inspirational you brought my scores from 110+ to The high 80’s in 8 months

[@marcelerny7228]

Yay im happy for you🔥

[@evannadzam6528]

Bruh that’s some insane improvement, keep up the great work

[@dantrav1927]

Watching videos has taken 30 shots off your game in 8 months... very sorry but hard to believe....

[@CSwivel]

@@dantrav1927 not really

[@Dman130]

So great you uploaded this video today. Was wondering about the different tactics to hit a ball on a hill. Keep up the great work!!

[@basharatmalik2020]

Very useful video on a very difficult shots for amature like me. But I tend to disagree with positioning of ball as in video. Ball should be positioned forward in uphill slope and back in downward slope. That is how your natural lowest point of your swing would be else you will have to make adjustment to your swing thru extra effort. Please clarify.

[@GregMooreGooglePlus]

As always...simple and clear instruction. Your how to on opening the club face is very helpful. I applied it at the practice range and enjoyed my PM grind on my 60 degree Mack Daddy wedge.

[@DanMooreDMNetsolutions]

Love your video's. You've helped my game a lot. Great instruction and easy to listen to.

[@grahamrichardson7851]

I really enjoy your videos I always struggled with bunkers till I saw your video I’m out first time now !.

[@buzzerbeaternews5076]

Great tips Matt

[@robbiemulder5961]

Thank you for this video...I will give it a try!

[@jamescraven1781]

Excellent! Looking forward to working on this. Thanks

[@7ceasers]

Great breakdown of the shots

[@thomasenodid517]

Great video. What adjustments do you make when you are using a hybrid and you cannot open the face. Thanks

[@sevesellors2831]

Great lesson Matt trying all your tips to improve my short game! Many thanks!

[@jasonsmith2457]

Great tips, gonna try them today.

[@donkoo7687]

I wish I saw this before I played on Sunday. Would have helped out a ton. Great video.

[@2sqnbandit379]

This guy is brilliant.

[@soouyang]

nice videos thanks..what about hitting woods (I used 3,5,7,7+,9,11,13, 15 woods) in these up, down, side cases, probably not open the club faces for woods, right?

[@Carreidas]

Fine. You have earned my subscription. What do you have on early extension, buddy?

[@vjmappy]

the narrower stance and how much back swing to take are new to me... will try it out.

[@rudimetric2838]

For the uphill shots, would all the tips hold true when hitting hybrids or 3-4 irons? Home course has a brutal par 5 on a steep hill the entire hole....its a beast. Great video!

[@albertbeasley6005]

Nice video. Good content. Now add in the up/down hill shot from a side slope above your feet and below your feet!👍🏌⛳🇺🇸😀

[@adhypictures]

Niiceee.. very useful for me, best regards from me in Indonesia

[@jpbernie72]

Just awesome advice! Great teachers speak in common terms. There are some guys out there who are far too technical.

[@philipspooner7205]

Well explained and helpful. Many thanks.

[@atb2003]

Nice way of adjusting for loft, I’ll try opening the face and play with direction.

[@kip2095]

Awesome tips! Love the simple tip to open the face and adjust shoulders to match slope. Curious on additional adjustments on side hill lies with ball below or above feet?

[@donaldhou9295]

I often shank the ball when working with severe downhill chip shots around the green. Any advices of solution would be much appreciated..

[@iamdallmyd4733]

Yes finally my questions have been answered

[@faridokhovat-alavian5074]

Very nice and usefull instruction, thanks

[@johnlysic6727]

Definitely the best couching I have seen on this important topic - huge Thank You!! I will be working on these tips right away

[@bobbrennan1116]

Nice video. These tips are helpful especially here in western PA where you rarely have a level lie. The shot that gives me fits- a downhill lie to a elevated green.

[@tedzink4574]

That shot only gives you fits because it's impossible.

[@ctrskistad]

Great lesson.

[@staceyuo9182]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@dylanthierer7949]

Love your videos! Helped my game alot. Thanks

[@justmythought1586]

Matt really gives some really good tips. There were times when I came close to get a high score on a hole and it saved the day.

[@LMFNinja]

Great video. Thank You.

[@andythomas4149]

Great help

[@xavieroller4267]

Awesome video with great tips. Is there one about hitting the ball above/below feet ?

[@bretttaylor3711]

Awesome! Can you do one for ball above and below feet?

[@mmaranta785]

Good video

[@randyboyd3839]

Thanks, tips for my hardest shots

[@duanet376]

Thanks man.

[@afriendtoleanon3401]

dumb question when you open the face on all your shots the face is still pointed at the target right your body is whats really open ? I tried to open face to the target at the range and the ball took off way right . more info on this would be great bro . Thanks

[@Dirtyfrnk007]

Dude... Excellent and simple tips. I had to chance to use and kick some ass on the course today with these tips...lmao I've also have gone back went back to the archives to see how other golf youtubers explain these lies and all I can say is "what the hell are they talking about!!!!!!!"... smh No wonder Ive always had trouble with these lies prior to your video.... thanks bro..

[@DavidAF311]

Never ever considered to have my weight on my back foot ever! Great tip for uphill shots

[@shaun1961hodge]

Nice instruction. Do you have on for side hills lies?

[@jc65211]

Any tips or techniques on how to manipulate the face club on down swings for balls below our feet for bunker shots? My heel always seems to catch causing it to hit fat. Thanks!

[@andyc6001]

Thanks, that was really helpful.

[@Biglou1478]

I needed this - thank you!

[@johnt851]

I do ok I with the lower slope, but have trouble with the steeper slopes. Especially when I have the target diagonal across the slope. Any hints for that.

[@kdelg2307]

Aimee cho says when you put your weight on your back foot on uphill lies you tend to fall backwards as you lose your balance. What are your thoughts on that. Also how do you hit a ball off the green on a steep uphill...about 45 degrees

[@adambrought8135]

Love your video

[@garrywilcox2921]

I struggle with down Hill lies mostly hit them fat thanks for the tip.

[@xMrJanuaryx]

This works great if your slightly down/up hill, on short grass and hitting into the slope but what if your in rough, seriously up/down hill and your hitting in a directly that is perpendicular too the slope?

[@Kiwigucci]

I have the same hole with a steep hill before the green where I hit the ground every time. Never thought of opening the face. I’ll try that next time.

[@burtonsharp2181]

When the club head meets the ball is the face back to square or still open?

[@ddarrenwillsond3620]

i needed to learn this

[@PaddyP538]

What about club selection? for an uphill lie, would you use a more lofted club to compensate? I haven't seen any videos online discuss club selection based on the lie.

[@h-bombgolf1551]

I love your channel

[@TMar1961]

Do you use the same rules for a fairway wood or hybrid, there's a par 5 at my home course where the 2nd shot is an uphill lie unless you can fly the ball 330+ uphill 60 ft off the tee.

[@HmoobGolf]

Good golfer.like... Sharing...

[@philsar22]

I just watched another video on the uphill lie and they said weight on front foot? I’m gonna mess around with both and see what’s comfortable! Good video tho!

[@dustin9181]

I live Oregon in need a guide to hitting on bigger slopes that’s not what I’d consider a slope. Lol

[@doc2help]

When you close the face, do you adjust the grip or rotate your wrists?

[@bvokey8842]

What if I’m on a severe downhill slope and there are low hanging trees in front of me with no lateral option? Had that secario today and was lost, unable to make a good shot. In other words how would you go about hitting a punch shot on a downhill lie?

[@matthewsnyder7935]

Are you advocating taking 2 extra clubs and hitting it fat?

[@PFitz539]

I’ve always played from front foot on incline. It’s my favourite shot lol.

[@nathangibson3049]

This is a great video I hope I remember to use these techniques while I’m playing!

[@tercorgam1212]

Nice vid

[@vicwaldek1547]

If you weren't near the green and had say a 6 iron in, would you still open the face a little?

[@steph5889]

What would you do on tee boxes that are not level?

[@MrHauzat56]

Would a left handed aim right of target?

[@craigscott3133]

Driving ranges should have tilted mats so you could practice these shots.

[@jimmydelrio8662]

The one I practice at does, but it's unintentional, hahahaha.

[@scottedmiston5850]

I have two hexagonal bathroom tiles that can be put under the range mat near the ball or under my feet to simulate side hill lies. Cardboard or other materials under the mat would work too.

[@ThePoliceftw]

aloo la verdad increible video me encanto necesito el proximo grabación los dejo les mando kisses agradecido

[@johnherman3261]

Matt; Great vid! A friend of mine once told me about hitting these shots and that was, “Commit to the shot”. Goodier stuff!

[@ej9315]

Can you do a similar video with ball above and below your feet?

[@VPadmanabhan2010]

How about when the slope is at right angles to your intended target?

[@bobjoswick6075]

Great advice. Thanks. I miss the chickens.

[@jimbeaver27]

I need to remember use less loft for uphill lies, they do fly higher and shorter. Downhill I use more loft to get it to fly higher.

[@johndeereboy820]

What about ball below your feet and above your feet..

[@rubenestrada1245]

Do you have a video when ball lies on a up n down hill n ball is above ur feet n ball is below ur feet on that hill?

[@roberttaylor6577]

What about long irons uphill and downhill I’m sure there’s a different take on that scenario

[@chadmace3355]

good stuff .. I'll try it out... like the opening of the club face...

[@VimMitt]

What causes open club face vs closed face in setup?

[@rajmehat]

It's great, but we just cannot see neither your feet ,the ball position, nor club head due to the lettering which appear down below the screen.

[@duffer0309]

Matt, can you do a video on side hill lies

[@dorothylim8113]

What about fairway woods on these uphill n downhill lies?
